(Nist) and ranked number one in the world in accuracy and speed of analysis. After integration with the Receita Federal system, facilitate the identification of passengers who have been registered by the agency with suspicious activity, contributing to the improvement of controls at the country's borders, and, consequently, to the betterment of society at large".

Specifically,, The NeoFace Rights Watch solution was selected by Brazil's National Tax Agency to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of customs and border control processes with facial recognition technology at fourteen international airports in the country, and this is the first project carried out by the Government of Brazil that uses this system.
